Excellent race for Agostini at Hockenheim

Hockenheim, 19 July 2014

Riccardo Agostini was once more among the frontrunners in the GP3 Series. At the Hockenheimring, in the fourth out of the nine rounds of the championship, the Italian driver made a sensational recovery from 14th to the eight, keeping it almost until the finish.

The Hilmer Motorsport’s racer, lost his position during the last laps because of the deterioration of the rear tyres and was forced to slow down, to avoid to lose everything missing those important point that he was already so close to gain. It was a pity because, thanks to the inversion of the grid, he could sealed a start from the first position for tomorrow’s Race 2.

But a ninth place is still a good result and, in Race 2, he will target again the top. A realistic target, also considering the fifth and the sixth place he gained during the last round at Silverstone.

Tomorrow, at 9:25, Race 2 will start. The event will be broadcasted live on SKY Sport and reported in live-timing on gp3series.com website.
